I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 631 The Tiger Falls
Although Sun Jian was brave, he was careless and unprepared, as were both father and son.

This was when Liu Jian and Xu Huang, who had just joined his army, were discussing famous generals in the world when they were in Yecheng. Liu Jian gave Sun Jian a positive evaluation.

It is true that Xu Huang has never met Sun Jian, but Liu Jian's words convinced him.

Because Liu Jian has greatly increased Xu Huang's strategic awareness and ability by describing the situation in Hebei to him and telling him about Hebei's strategic territory and expansion space.

Although Xu Huang was an adult, Liu Jian still asked him to go to the newly established Military Academy in Hebei for further studies.

With Xu Huang's intelligence and military talent, under Liu Jian's careful training, he naturally became a more outstanding military talent very quickly.

……

Sun Jian brought people to support the rear army, and soon there was a fierce spark.

Sun Jian vaguely saw Xu Huang's figure. Although he didn't know the situation, he immediately ordered the cavalry behind him to attack in a reverse raid.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is really an act of disregarding martial arts, but soldiers never tire of deceit, which has been the case since ancient times.

Sun Jian gave an order, and the cavalry behind him immediately drove their horses forward and killed Xu Huang and the soldiers and horses behind him.

Some of the cavalry troops dispersed their formation, wandered around and fired arrows to disrupt Xu Huang's army's formation.

Facing the incoming arrows, Zhao Rui, the cavalryman behind Xu Huang, shouted to Xu Huang to hurry up and join the battle, but Xu Huang burst out laughing after hearing this.

"Compared with my arrows from Hebei, today's arrows are so rare."

"Even if thousands of arrows are fired, how can I retreat?"

After finishing speaking, Xu Huang drove the horse under his crotch, not retreating but advancing, so as not to raise his whip.

He swung his axe, leaped on his horse and charged towards the charging enemy.

When Xu Huang first entered the enemy formation, three cavalrymen attacked with spears.
But Xu Huang was not afraid at all. He raised the ax in his hand and swept towards the three attacking enemy soldiers with great force.

Before the three enemy soldiers could react, they were all knocked off their horses by Xu Huang, and fell to the ground not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

After killing three enemy soldiers, Xu Huang moved towards a general of Sun Jian's army and killed him.
Xu Huang rode his horse very fast, but after a while, the enemy general was killed by Xu Huang's axe.
Then Xu Huang drove his horse to attack left and right in the enemy formation. Wherever he went, people would be turned upside down.

Whenever the enemy was about to encircle him, Xu Huang would promptly jump out of the enemy's formation on his steed, and then drive his horse into the formation again.
Xu Huang entered the enemy formation three times, and every time he entered, he would kill several enemy soldiers.

Xu Gongming is good at driving away enemies.

This is one of the famous five-son generals in history.

He knew full well that Sun Jian led the cavalry and used tactics of running left and right in order to prevent him from harassing the rear army.

In order to hit their morale.

Therefore, in order to defeat the enemy, the first thing Xu Huang had to do was to improve his own morale.
That's why he has the act of rushing,

Of course, Xu Huang is also very confident in himself.

Sure enough, under Xu Huang's unstoppable charge into the formation, the enemy's morale was almost visibly declining.

As for Xu Huang's cavalry, after seeing Xu Huang's strength, their morale increased vigorously.

"Kill! Kill!"

Xu Huang's cavalry all shouted long live, their voices sounding like drums shaking from the sky.
It is constantly widening the morale gap between the enemy and ourselves.

Seeing that the time was right, Xu Huang jumped out of the enemy's formation in time.

He has extraordinary battlefield command skills and knows that now is the time to give up.

Xu Huang jumped out of the enemy's formation, raised his ax high, and then swung it forward.

The impatient elite knights who had been waiting behind him immediately started marching towards Zu Mao's large group of soldiers and horses.

Compared to Sun Jian and the others who had just come to support them, Zu Mao and the other soldiers in the rear who had been shaken out of their psychological shadow were easier to bully.

Those cavalrymen were like a long dragon, clashing back and forth in the rear formation of the Yuzhou Army again.

When Zu Mao faced Xu Huang's soldiers, he had already ordered the soldiers to form large shells like turtle shells.

In this way, losses can be minimized.

And this scene played right into Xu Huang's plan.

Sun Jian couldn't help but grit his teeth when he saw this situation.

He vaguely saw the large flag carried by the cavalry led by Xu Huang, which seemed to have the word "Xu" written on it.

Sun Jian didn't know if Liu Jian had any other famous generals named Xu besides Xu Rong.

Come to think of it, he must be an unknown person.

But such an unknown person actually beat the enemy's rear army so hard that they couldn't hold their heads up. Moreover, even after he arrived, the enemy dared to be so arrogant.

Sun Jian's hands were trembling with anger, but he was just an unknown person, leading thousands of soldiers to charge his army into such a state, and now when he first arrived, he stabbed himself - it was really hateful!
Looking at the corpses that were killed by Xu Huang and others on the ground, Sun Jian was so angry that his teeth were about to burst.

So, Sun Jian led his elite soldiers and horses to rush forward and ran to Zu Mao's side!

"He is just an unknown person. You have been fighting with me for many years, but to be beaten by such a person without the ability to fight back is really an insult to my reputation!"

Zu Mao heard this and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the opponent is proficient in battle formations and is brave and invincible. It is really difficult to defeat him..."

"Ridiculous! I'll fight him! You stay here to rectify the situation!"

Then, they saw Sun Jian leading his elite army to kill Xu Huang.

Although Xu Huang's troops have been shuttled in and slaughtered the enemy's rear lines, they have actually been observing Sun Jian's movements.

Now that Sun Jian and other troops suddenly took action, Xu Huang immediately ordered the soldiers to follow him and fight towards the rear.

In fact, in this battle to ambush Sun Jian, Xu Rong knew that although he could win, it might not be a big victory, so he and Xu Huang finally decided on this method after some discussions.

Instead of fighting with all his strength, Sun Jian thought that he could hold his position even if he was ambushed, and used Xu Huang as a lure to lure Sun Jian into despair!

On the surface, it seems that the soldiers and horses led by Xu Rong and Qu Yi are elite, but in fact, Xu Huang's own soldiers and horses are really considered to be fighting soldiers. With the command of outstanding generals like Xu Huang, they achieved victory with the help of cavalry. Huge mobility advantage.

So when Sun Jian mustered up his strength to act again, Xu Huang also started to act.

His new move is to fight and retreat at the same time!

Don't fight Sun Jian head-on.

Xu Huang was temporarily repelled, but Sun Jian was chasing after him.

In fact, Sun Jian has a lot of pressure in his heart tonight!

He originally came to attack the opponent's camp, but he never expected to be ambushed by Xu Rong. Now a little-known guy dared to ambush him. Sun Jian never let out his anger!

No matter what, we must wipe out the opponent's sneak attack troops!Only then can I get rid of this bad breath in my chest!
Xu Huang and his group were cavalry, and they retreated very quickly. They soon saw that they had put a certain distance away from Sun Jian.

Sun Jian's speed did not slow down at all, and he just kept chasing Xu Huang.

In his eyes, people like Xu Huang can never be his opponents!As long as Xu Huang is captured, the opponent can be killed.

Under the rapid gallop, Sun Jian and his group had actually reached the mouth of Qigu.

The entrance to Qigu is still so deep, like a ferocious beast, with its huge mouth open, quietly waiting for his prey to come to the door.This scene, set against the backdrop of the dark night, makes people feel even more chilled unconsciously.

But at this time, these thousands of cavalry were chasing and being chased. In addition, they passed Qigu without any obstruction, so they did not think much about pursuing Sun Jian.

He rushed out of Qigu so quickly.

Sun Jian was not without hesitation during this period, but his hesitation was smoothed away by his arrogance and self-esteem in just a moment.

The passage in Qigudi is not narrow. Under normal circumstances, it is enough to accommodate a dozen cavalrymen passing through in an orderly manner.

Moreover, this valley road is not long, and it will not take too long to rush out of this valley road at the speed of cavalry.

But now is not the normal situation,
I saw Sun Jian's troops and horses rushing forward under Sun Jian's order in order to catch up with Xu Huang as soon as possible.

This instead caused congestion and greatly delayed their progress out of the valley.

And just after Sun Jian and the others had almost entered Qigu Road,
At this time, on the mountains on both sides of Qi Valley, golden drums suddenly sounded together, and the sky was filled with fire.

A group of soldiers wearing Hebei Army uniforms appeared from the mountains and forests. They were densely packed on the mountains on both sides of the Qigu exit road.

They kept waving their weapons and cheered Sun Jian's arrival loudly in Hebei dialect.
Under the dancing of many Hebei soldiers, more than ten large flags with the word "Zhang" fluttered in the wind.

Leading this army is Zhang He, who Liu Jian secretly sent here to coordinate the battle!
Zhang He, Xu Huang... two outstanding figures among the five generals of Cao Wei in history were sent by Liu Jian to greet Sun Jian.

And just after these Hebei soldiers appeared, the entrances and exits on the front and rear sides of the valley were also blocked by numerous logs rolling down from the mountains.

The Yuzhou cavalry, which was already approaching the front exit, was caught off guard and knocked down by these giant trees. Many war horses raised their hooves and neighed.

This shocking turn of events frightened Sun Jian and his followers who were pursuing them.

They crowded in the valley road because of the fear in their hearts, they kept driving left and right to push and push.

Due to the crowding, many of Sun Jian's soldiers were pushed off their horses by their fellow soldiers, and then trampled to death by their companions on the ground.

For a time, wails and screams kept ringing in the valley.

At this time, the Hebei soldiers who had already been ambushing on the mountain loaded their long bows with sharp arrows.

Then they raised their long bows and aimed at Sun Jian's soldiers who were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered in the valley.

Seeing this action of the soldiers in Hebei, Sun Jian's army in the valley now began to look for the general.

When they were in desperate situation, the backbone of these soldiers was naturally their commander-in-chief Sun Jian.

Many soldiers crowded in front of Sun Jian and defended him. Their faces were full of fear.

Before and after arriving at Sun Jian, they all asked Sun Jian what to do next.

Seeing the panicked soldiers in front of him, Sun Jian, who had always been proud, was so angry that he wanted to kill them with his sword.

Are these still my Sun Jian's soldiers?What a trivial matter!
If a man dies, he will die, so why should he be afraid?

But at this time, even if Sun Jian is a famous general in hundreds of battles, what can he do.

At this time, Xu Huang's soldiers and horses had also changed the momentum of the charge and turned towards Sun Jian and galloped towards him.

Seeing that Sun Jian's soldiers and horses had successfully been trapped in Qigu Road, he let out a long breath.

After all, the opponent was the world-famous general Sun Jian. Although Jia Xu, Xu Huang, Xu Rong, Zhang He and others were working together before the war, whether Sun Jian could be restrained was indeed a matter of opinion.

Looking at the panicked Sun Jianjun in the valley road, Zhang He shouted to Sun Jian who was not far away from him in the valley road below:

"Sun Wentai, the general has said that you and he used to have a comradeship and are willing to spare your life. If you don't surrender now, how much later!"

Zhang He was so angry that his shouts quickly reached Xu Huang's ears.

Zhang He's words of persuasion to surrender instantly attracted the attention of all the soldiers here. They held their breath, waiting for Sun Jian's answer.

Sun Jian's face turned red. He didn't know who the person on the mountain road was now.

But no matter who it was, Sun Jian would never be able to stand talking to him in this tone.

Facing Zhang He's persuasion to surrender, he asked loudly:

"If I don't surrender, how will you treat me?"

Facing Sun Jian, who still had a trace of luck in his heart, Zhang He immediately responded loudly,

"The valley is long and narrow, so shoot with arrows!"

When he finished speaking, Zhang He suddenly shouted: "Fire the arrow!"

Following Zhang He's order, countless arrows were fired at Sun Jian and the others on both sides of the mountain road, with almost no gap!

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers next to Sun Jian were hit by arrows and fell to the side wailing. Some of the other soldiers rushed forward and some rushed back. The scene became extremely chaotic for a while.

But Xu Huang just firmly guarded their retreat, preventing Sun Jian and others from passing through.

Sun Jian himself shouted: "Don't mess up, don't mess up." He waved the ancient ingot sword and rode forward. He led one of the most elite cavalry and aimed firmly at Xu Huang, who was guarding the entrance of the valley in the distance.

At this time, Sun Jian was very angry. He only knew that it was this young general holding a big ax who brought him into this desperate situation!

Even if he died, he would hold him on his back no matter what.

But when he was about to rush in front of Xu Huang, an arrow finally penetrated the crowd and hit Sun Jian under his armpit.

"what!"

With a shocking tiger roar, the ancient ingot knife in Sun Jian's hand suddenly fell to the ground!

He also lay down on the horse's back because of the pain, gnashing his teeth, his eyes wide open, and his face was very ferocious.

At this time, Xu Huang had already seen Sun Jian lying on his horse.

He knew that the opportunity was rare, so he immediately held a big ax and led more than ten elite cavalry to kill Sun Jian's front troops and rushed towards Sun Jian.

For young generals like Xu Huang and Zhang He, taking Sun Jian's head was a great opportunity for them to make a name for themselves.

Because of this, Zhang He was also rushing down the hillside from the mountain at this time. The arrow rain had ended. What was needed now was to engage in hand-to-hand combat. A massacre was about to begin.

Although Sun Jian was hit by an arrow and suffered unbearable pain, he was still a tiger from the east of the Yangtze River.

Sun Jian suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled out the arrow from his armpit.

Then he reached out and grabbed a spear from the soldier next to him. He yelled at Xu Huang who was charging towards him, and swung the spear towards him.

Unexpectedly, Xu Huang was young and strong. When the axe's turn came, Sun Jian's spear broke into two pieces.

As Sun Jian turned around and ran away, Xu Huang slashed his back with an axe, causing blood to pour out.

Sun Jian ran backwards with all his strength, and Xu Huang was chasing after him.

At this time, Sun Jian was hit by an arrow, and an ax hit him in the back. Although the ax only scratched the edge and caused him a skin injury, the arrow under his arm just now could be said to have hit him. lifeline.

Blood continued to surge from his armpits, and Sun Jian's consciousness became increasingly blurred. He seemed to know that his time was running out, and he would inevitably be damaged here today.
